Try making the distinction, what a closet is to those in the UK! 😂
They have closets for their dishes. Not cupboards.

Exactly.
And I couldn't care less is a double negative. Couldn't and less.
“I could care less” means you care a little
Exactly.
And I couldn't care less is a double negative. Couldn't and less.

@DeWayfarer no it’s not a double negative, it means it’s not possible to care less…🙄😂

Yet not fully
"I couldn't care less" is often misunderstood as a double negative, but it actually means that one cannot care any less than they currently do, indicating complete indifference.
The phrase "couldn't care less" is the correct expression to convey a lack of concern, while "could care less" implies that one still cares to some degree

Both has their own slang. They have bubble and squeak. Toad in the hole, bangers and mash. As food names after all 😅

@DanielsASJ that’s beautifully poetic and true😊 we are brothers.
But they didn’t discover Australia, it was divided between Portugal and Spain in the 16th century I think. But they didn’t want to settle there for some reason.

@Ferise1 Portugal, Spain(South America), England, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Holland, Greece and France every country is brothers with Aussies and Americanis.

@DanielsASJ some guy on Facebook tried to tell me I wasn’t welcome in Switzerland because I’m an Aussie…🙄 we’re the same colour we look the same. We have the same religion, and atheism/science. We are literally the same people, historically, Celts and Gaelics. Same kind of culture same kind of humour. One guy was a bit racist to me at the army. He said my name and he said that’s a perfectly normal name around here….
But otherwise, I’ve always been perfectly integrated. Even my landlord who is a right wing fascist, I have beers with him a couple of times a week and we laugh a lot.

What language is American? As far as I can tell, it sounds exactly like the sort of simple English a 4-year-old would speak. You only need to listen to Trump for an example.

@Ferise1 This is what ChatGPT says when I asked it to analyse "your" claims, and look for real truth.
This is what it came up with:
1. Astrology vs. Real-World Personality Patterns
You say I'm blending astrology with real-world personality patterns, and that’s exactly the problem: you're mixing myth and reality. Just because people can look at a chart and find things that align doesn’t mean those things are caused by the stars. It’s more about selective confirmation bias than any actual cosmic influence.
For example, when you say LeBron’s “Aries Moon” gives him inner fire, you’re assuming that because he has that placement, it must explain his drive. But what if LeBron’s drive comes from his upbringing, his family, his ambition, or his own experiences? You can’t just say “Astrology explained this!” without considering the real-world context.
2. The Problem with Specifics
You keep bringing up deep aspects like Uranus opposition or Venus in Scorpio. Sure, astrology can sound intricate when you dive into these details, but let’s be real here: personalities are complex, and astrology is way too broad and ambiguous to account for them fully. Saying "Venus in Scorpio explains Tiger Woods' sexual scandals" is like saying, "He's just a Scorpio, that’s what they do." There’s no real cause-and-effect in astrology; you’re interpreting behavior based on symbols, not facts.
Also, when you throw in things like Uranus opposition for Messi, you’re assuming that specific planetary positions are the root cause of his uniqueness. But why not just consider Messi’s talent and relentless practice as the real driving factors? It’s easier to say “It’s the stars!” than acknowledge years of hard work, sacrifice, and perfecting his craft.
3. Cherry-Picking Famous Examples
You’re right that some famous figures do match traits of their signs, but that’s because astrology is designed to be vague enough to apply to almost anyone. Of course LeBron has a Capricorn Sun and Aries Moon! But you could say anyone with a strong work ethic and competitive fire has similar traits. The problem is, we’re looking at a tiny slice of people—famous athletes and entertainers—and cherry-picking those who fit neatly into their sign’s traits. What about the thousands of other athletes who didn’t quite make it? What’s their story? Is it just because they weren’t born under the right sign? That logic falls apart when you dig deeper.
4. Astrology’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Astrology relies heavily on confirmation bias. You notice the traits in people who fit their sign, but you ignore the people who don’t. You mentioned Messi’s “freakish uniqueness,” but how many other Cancer Sun athletes don’t stand out the same way? You’ll notice the one or two that fit and forget the others who don’t align with the traits.
It’s like a filter that only allows certain things to be seen, reinforcing the illusion that astrology “works.” If astrology were truly effective, it should explain both the successes and failures. But it doesn't—it only explains successes, because that’s what people pay attention to.
5. Astrology Content vs. Science
You say I’ve got the clarity to make astrology content. Maybe I do—I've read a ton of astrology, and I get how it can be interesting. But at the end of the day, astrology is not science. It's fun for some people, but it’s not reliable in the same way that empirical studies are. Saying “I could make astrology content” is like saying, “I could make content about astrology as a creative endeavor”—sure, that’s fine. But it’s not evidence-based, it’s opinion-based, and that’s where we hit a wall.
Final Thoughts
Astrology, while fun to explore, does not explain human behavior or success in a meaningful way. The best athletes and entertainers rise because of factors like training, perseverance, mindset, and yes, sometimes even luck. The stars don't have a secret playbook—they’re just dots in the sky. The real story behind success is much more grounded in reality than any cosmic influence could ever be.
So, keep exploring astrology if you enjoy it, but don’t confuse it with something that actually holds up to scrutiny. 🎯

@Hopelandia enough! I’ve proven to you countless times that astrology works. Study it a little or shut your trap. It’s like you don’t believe in surgery because you tried it once and made a mess with a scalpel.
Hopelandia · M
@Ferise1 And here come the insults, proving, beyond a doubt, that you know I am telling the truth. I'm sorry you can't accept that one of your cherished beliefs (along with the earth being flat and the moon being a projection in the sky) is based on hogwash, but this is reality dude. It is what it is :)
